That's is cool, but what about websites content? It must be relevant to/for (re)search and of course with the high quality.. and don't forget to "facilitate" site, that mean compress everything that you can compress and avoid heavy .js

5 Tips to Build Your Web Design Portfolio:

1. Start out by offering to do work for free! Building a portfolio is more important than making money when you are first starting out. If you can’t find enough people who need sites, make stuff up! Start with your own site(s)!
2. Try to find a variety of different types of clients to build sites for, so you can show you have a flexible set of design chops in a variety of industries. Additionally, work in a number of mediums (web, print, photography, etc…) be sure to include pieces of all of them. Express your versatility!
3. Make it easy to access. Strategize your user flow if you are hosting your work online. Investigate your analytics and see if and where users are getting stuck.
4. Focus on simplicity. Having a bear riding a bicycle through a flaming hoop may sound like a good idea and might be hilarious to you, but focus on your work. A few strong pieces will leave a much better impression than several lukewarm designs. Show off your best work, not necessarily all of your work.
5.Tell your story. It is nice to have a large book full of creative work but what is even nicer is to have a large story full of creative work. If you tell your story while telling your clients’ story, you are on the road to success!

Follow these 5 tips to good web design and you’ll find yourself sailing through the production process, saving you priceless man-hours and impressing clients with your efficient, professional approach.

Planning is crucial, if not the most important factor, for a smooth running, efficient web project. Do not be tempted to jump right in and start coding. It’s a sure-fire recipe for disaster and without doubt, certain to add heaps of additional production hours as you hunt down the bugs caused by changing code halfway through.

Mocking up pages is a great way to visually engage the client and give them a solid interpretation of how the site will look when live. Use Photoshop to construct the visual. We adopt the 960 grid system so that a standardized format reaches the web developers.

Use the Colour Contrast Analyser. At the design stage you can work out what colours work and what don’t. Using this tool will save hours when you realise, a lot later down the line, that the site isn’t compliant. Most council’s and other government bodies insist upon compliance, so ignore this tool at your peril.

Always use clear and concise navigation. Make it stand out. The last thing you want to do is ask the visitor to hunt for it. Remember to keep the visitor uppermost in your mind. Don’t take the easy route when coding if it makes the navigation clumsy or hard to follow. Think about the visitor.

HTML should be written in a clear, standards compliant manner. This will not only help all browsers and accessibility-assistive technologies to understand your content but will also have the added effect of helping search-engine spiders to crawl your site accurately and easily.
